Upcycled Wristlet Pincushion

Sometimes an idea just hits me. I'm sure someone else has already thought of, done this, whatever, but I hadn't seen this in blogland so I'm uber syked that I didn't *case* a talented person for this one HAHA!

I had made some previous pincushions from a recycled, quilted pillow sham. I further got an idea to make a wristlet one, but use beads to make it more bracelet-like. While thrifting Saturday with Greg, I got another idea...

I found a 4-strand faux pearl bracelet on elastic cord in the jewelry section and thought about using that instead of buying the items to make the braclet.

Cut a 4" square of cotton fabric. Sew all the way around, leaving an opening for stuffing. Clip your corners, turn right side out and stuff. Tuft with embroidery floss and add a button. Use sewing thread to sew the bracelet to the bottom of the pincushion.

Put on your wrist and enjoy!
